Can I add a SVG background image here in Generationblocks?
At the moment SVG`s are not accepted.

Hi,
By default, WordPress indeed doesn't allow uploading of SVG files. To be able to add SVG support, you have to install the SVG Support plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/svg-support/
Once you've installed this plugin, you'll be able to use SVG files just like any other image files supported by WordPress.
Let us know if it helps.:)
Hi, Elvin,
thank you for your answer.
I have already done all that.
However, the SVG upload for Background Image in generator blocks does not work.
Can you check for any errors that might be causing it?
You might also want to try updating some plugins and see if it solves the issue.
Here's a working demo w/ WordPress 5.5.1 on SVG Support 2.3.18. (GenerateBlocks 1.1.2, GP Premium 1.11.3, GP 2.4.2)

By the way, you can also try to add backgrounds on general common areas by activating "Backgrounds" on GP Premium.

Hello Elvin,
I had installed the wrong plugin.
I have now switched to this plugin.

Now the update works.
Thank you very much
Frank
Nice one. No problem.:)
